There's a point in life,
where you're sick and tired
of being sick and tired.
That's when change happens.
Haven't wrote in  a while. But I've took the reins of life again. I'll start writing, I miss it.

You are beautiful ❤️
You are unique 🤩.
You are highly favoured.
You are wonderful and fearfully made.
You are fairer than ten thousand.
You are Woman.
Embrace your identity.
And lay.your claims.
Guys these are your diamonds
Treasure them.

every morning I wake up
a miracle and tragedy
wrapped up in one
I should be grateful but
all I feel is exhausted
let me sleep.
Some days it's just like that.

In shadows deep where silence grows
A heart once bright now only knows  
The weight of love that slipped away  
In quiet nights  I long and sway.  
Each memory like a whispered sigh
Reminds me of the days gone by
When laughter danced in morning light  
Now echoes fade lost to the night.  
I search for warmth in empty spaces  
But find instead the cold embraces
Of loneliness my only friend  
A bitter truth that won’t soon end.  
The ache of love is sharp and clear
It cuts so deep it brings the tears  
I'm longing for a hand to hold
In dreams of warmth my heart feels cold.
  Yet still I hope though shadows loom  
That one day light will chase the gloom
For in this heart a spark remains
A wish for love to heal these pains.
might quit this poetry thing idk.

A dreamer, that’s what she was.
Most people just float on, barely surviving the torrents that life throws their way.
But she was a dreamer.
She lived for the love she read of in books.
She lived for the adventure she found in their pages.
She loved for the sake of never being loved in return.
For she was a dreamer, and dreaming she was.

A dreamer, that’s what she was.
Most people just carry on, refusing to acknowledge the pain that chains them down.
But she was a dreamer.
She was trapped by her expectations.
She was trapped by her desires.
She lived for a life she would never live.
For she was a dreamer, and dreaming she was.

A dreamer, that’s what she was.
Where as others awake when their dreaming is done,
She was trapped by her dream, violently torn,
Between wishing, waiting, wanting, watching…
In search of a life that could never be hers.
For she was a dreamer, and dreaming she was.

A dreamer, that’s what she was.
But how long can she chase her dream,
Until it becomes a nightmare?
Is she a dreamer stuck in the dreaming?
Or just an addict chasing the feeling?
I was a dreamer…until life caught wind of my dreaming.

To hear “because I love you”
Is never a bad thing—
If the phrase be said with truth.
But rarely is it so, it seems,
The saying so oft abused.

Exploited to justify cruelty,
It pretends that love is selfish.
And such is how it masquerades the beauty
Of what true love really is.

Love is a drive to behave
With another in your mind;
It is as altruistic as one can get,
And necessitates one be kind.

Therefore, the reply “because I love you”
Often contradicts itself.
For if it’s used as a wrongdoing’s excuse,
Then the love is in poor health.

I know I'm not pretty,
I don't want your pity.
I know I'm not hot,
I know I don't mean a lot.

I know I'm not masculine,
Do I need discipline?
I know people say they care but do they?
I don't believe a word they say.

I know I should be happy,
I should be grateful for what I have.
I shouldn't feel sappy,
I should act brave.

Would the world care if I died?
Or would they think I went to hide?
Would they care if I wasn't here tomorrow?
Would they feel even an ounce of sorrow?

None of my friends get it;
They all think I'm throwing a fit.
They don't know what its like to feel replaceable,
I don't feel embraceable.

I wish they understood.
I wish I could talk about it with the people I care about,
But they make me feel more misunderstood.
They ignore how my mind constantly fills with doubt.

What do I do?
I don't have a single clue,
A single match in this never ending darkness,
Please give me a harness.
